Custom Home Builders in Conroe, TX: Fixed Pricing From Day One

A Dunn & Stone custom home runs about $180 per square foot with our included features, about $213 with moderate selections, and about $250 for a highly featured home or a very small footprint, before land.

Some lot prep is built into our base price, but the final total depends on your lot. Driveway length and how much fill a sloped lot needs can drive that up, and a steep Lake Conroe lot that needs pier-and-beam construction can add $65,000 to $120,000. City of Conroe lots also carry city permit and building-practice costs. During your free consultation, we'll walk through a realistic number for what you want to build.

We build on lots you already own throughout Conroe, Montgomery County, and the surrounding area. Before contract, we evaluate your lot for soil, flood zone, utilities, access, and HOA restrictions at no cost. If your lot has a wet area, a tricky easement or missing utilities, we'll flag it up front so you can plan around it.

We'd be glad to help you find the right lot first, whether that's a Lake Conroe waterfront lot, a homesite in one of the Conroe communities where we build, or a wooded acreage tract. We work alongside local realtors we trust for the land search, and we'll evaluate any lot you're considering before you commit.

Either works. Starting from one of our Ready Floor Plans is usually faster and costs less than starting blank. From there, we modify the plan as much or as little as you want: resize rooms, add square footage, change the elevation, flip the garage, add a second story.

We can build it. Bring it in and we'll review it for buildability, cost, and any changes that might save you money without compromising what you want. If you're still in the plan phase and want us to take over design, we can do that too.

Plan on 9 to 14 months from your first meeting to move-in. Construction itself averages about 210 days once your permit is in hand, and when the application is complete, most county permits come back in two to three weeks. Larger homes, more features and late changes push toward the longer end.

At contract signing, we've finalized your plans and selections. The contract price reflects those plans and a clear allowance for anything not yet chosen. If you stay within your allowances, don't change the plans and no site condition the contract lists as unknown turns up, the price at move-in equals your contract price.

Upgrades and scope changes are priced by change order before work proceeds. We don't pass through lumber price spikes, labor adjustments, or other market-driven increases once the contract is signed.

We work with lenders who handle one-loan, one-closing construction-to-permanent loans for Dunn & Stone clients. You'll need 10 to 15 percent down. If most of your wealth is home equity, we have financing options to access it without selling first.

Every home we build comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, a 2-year systems warranty on mechanical, plumbing and electrical, and a 10-year structural warranty. Warranty service is handled by our in-house team.

We've built on several Lake Conroe lots, and we'd be glad to look at yours. The slope down to the water is the main cost driver, and a steep lot can need pier-and-beam construction, which adds about $65,000 to $120,000. Our guide to Lake Conroe waterfront homes covers buying and building on the lake in more detail.

We build across Montgomery County, in places like Pinehurst, Magnolia, Montgomery and Willis, and in Tomball and parts of north Harris County. If you're not sure whether your lot is in our service area, just ask, or see where we build.
